Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of early warning of cable fires in cable tunnels for electric power workers, in particular to a gas generation and collection device for cable overheating simulation and cable outer sheath overheating. Background Art
[0002] Power cables are the carriers of power transmission and the arteries of the power system, which deeply affect the development of the national economy. Overload, short circuit, poor contact, arc, etc. may lead to fire accidents. Power cable fires are highly destructive. They not only damage power transmission equipment and reduce power supply reliability, but also produce toxic smoke, which poses a great threat to the lives of workers and firefighters.
[0003] Unlike other types of electrical fires, a large number of power cables are densely laid in closed trenches and tunnels, which makes cable fires concealed and flammable, so the alarm device is required to play a role in the early stages of cable fire development. Power cable fires are divided into multiple stages. In the early stages of the fire, it only manifests as abnormal temperature of the outer sheath without a lot of smoke. It then develops into smoldering with a lot of smoke, and finally an open flame appears until it is extinguished. The high temperature caused by the fault causes the chemical bonds of the polymer material that constitutes the outer sheath to begin to break, producing specific pyrolysis gases, which carry the temperature information of the cable. Studying the heat and gas production characteristics of the cable can improve the gas phase characteristics in the early stages of the fire.
[0004] XLPE also contains additives during the manufacturing process, such as voltage stabilizers, peroxide crosslinking agents, etc. The peroxide crosslinking agent DCP (Dicumyl Peroxide) decomposes under heat to produce crosslinking byproducts that affect the performance of XLPE. Therefore, the gas composition of early cable fires is very complex, and the cross-sensitivity of MOS gas sensors limits the accuracy of fire warnings.
[0005] The information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore may contain information that does not form the prior art that is known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Utility Model Content
